Bruce: Bruce [...] .. .
Fz: What?
Bruce: From Reprise Records
Fz: Hi, there, how you doing?
Bruce: How you doing? Nice to see you again
Fz: Alright
Bruce: How's it going?
Fz: Well, it's alright
Bruce: Good. Hey, we got a neat publicity stunt we'd like to try
Fz: What's the stunt?
Bruce: We got a garbage truck we'd like to get some pictures of you and the Mothers on it
Fz: That's probably one of the most terrible ideas I've ever heard in my life! We're going down there?
Bruce: Yeah!
Mark: You'd love it, you know that?
Bruce: And, uh, we got that news paper here to cover it and, uh, plus, the front of the chart and stuff
Fz: The front of the chart. ..
Bruce: Yes, the, uh, fm chart that's put over here in Vancouver as a distribution for fifty thousand
Fz: What do you think, dick?
Dick: What? A photo at the garbage truck?
Bruce: I think it's really gonna be a great idea, I really do
.. . On the other side of that
"But it won't be lonely for long . . . "
What's the deal?
Howard: Must we stand amidst the scum to get the idea across?
"Where are you on this ah long hot summer
Where are you on this ah. .. "
Mark: Are we going in it?
You think you can possibly. .. With the foot there?
Bruce: Bruce [...] .. .
